WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:09.160
You're listening to the downbeat. I'm
ninety seven to one, the freak fr

2
00:00:09.199 --> 00:00:11.519
good morning, seven or five at
the time. It's KT, it's thing

3
00:00:11.599 --> 00:00:14.960
you, it's Mikey, it's JJ. It is your friendly neighborhood down beat

4
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.199
six to ten each and every morning. Appreciate you listening to us tick around

5
00:00:18.239 --> 00:00:21.399
till ten. Lot of fun stuff
playing throughout the morning. But it is

6
00:00:21.399 --> 00:00:35.439
seven o'clock and we want to talk
a little bit about sports and now sports

7
00:00:35.679 --> 00:00:41.920
at seven. I'm a Super Bowl
nugget. I guess it's a betting nugget

8
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.079
when you want it. Nine days
away, nine days away from the big

9
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:48.759
game? Danny, are you pumped? Are you freaking out? Not yet?

10
00:00:49.159 --> 00:00:52.960
No? Yeah, the first week
of the big long Super Bowl two

11
00:00:53.000 --> 00:00:57.000
week weight period. I don't even
think about it. And it seems like

12
00:00:57.119 --> 00:01:00.640
the news media doesn't really ramp up
and till probably Sunday Monday. Yeah,

13
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:06.680
they're too worried about the Pro Bowl. I watched uh about ten minutes of

14
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:11.840
Pro Bowl mini games. What they
were doing Prowl mini games? Yeah,

15
00:01:11.879 --> 00:01:14.400
I was on last night. What
were they doing playing that last year?

16
00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.439
They could have been last year.
I really have no idea dude, I'd

17
00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:23.200
love to see Micah Parsons and Joey
Bosa playing a game of Jinga. Okay,

18
00:01:23.200 --> 00:01:26.079
it's just about It's about that.
I saw they had a jugs machine

19
00:01:26.239 --> 00:01:32.760
and I saw dude, he was
holding like five footballs and his job was

20
00:01:32.799 --> 00:01:38.319
to catch another punt out of the
jugs machine, Like it was who could

21
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:42.640
catch the most footballs? Yeah,
and he took one between his legs and

22
00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:46.799
they caught it, and they're like, oh, so the Pro Bowls turned

23
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:51.000
into crap games that me and Kevio
made up growing up in small towns.

24
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:55.560
It's basically the Bozo Show. Yeah, which is better than which is better

25
00:01:55.719 --> 00:02:00.040
than the Pro Bowl? But then
I did. They teased me going to

26
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:07.239
break with NFL closest to the pin, so I stuck around and they had

27
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:09.240
video of them. The previous day, I had some sweet golf course in

28
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:15.639
Orlando with an island green look a
lot like sawgrass, and it was eight

29
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:22.240
competitors, including two Cowboys. We
had Brian Anger and Jake Ferguson representing the

30
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:28.960
NFC. Two Dolphins were hiem Moosturt
and Alex Ingold, but the leader for

31
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:32.400
a long time was Jake Ferguson Nice
Golf Swings stuffed it to about nine feet

32
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:38.199
until Brian Anger, the punter,
And we know kickers and punter, they

33
00:02:38.319 --> 00:02:44.400
love pendulums so much time and they
have so much time. Brian Hanger sticks

34
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:50.080
it's like two feet absolute dart.
How far out are they? I think

35
00:02:50.080 --> 00:02:52.400
it was, I don't know,
one twenty or something. I mean,

36
00:02:52.439 --> 00:02:54.560
that's my idea. I wanted to
have a station event doing that, doing

37
00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:59.520
the glory whole challenge. We still
might someday. We're just waiting to get

38
00:02:59.599 --> 00:03:02.319
rolling. You're about to get rolled, and the station's about to get wrong.

39
00:03:02.400 --> 00:03:06.479
Things are about to blow up,
right, yes, maybe, but

40
00:03:06.560 --> 00:03:12.240
Brian Anger just absolutely gunned one in
there tight and then they went to some

41
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:14.800
other dumb game and I stopped.
Yeah, but it was it was fun

42
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.639
for a minute. I would take
the Boso show and you get your quarterbacks,

43
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:22.400
you know, and they do the
you got to throw it to can

44
00:03:22.479 --> 00:03:27.599
one and then bucket two, Bucket
three, bucket four, a little further

45
00:03:27.639 --> 00:03:30.719
away, bucket five with the ping
pong ball, with the football or with

46
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:32.319
the football from five yards. But
that'd be too easy for them. I

47
00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:36.800
think the ping pong wall would be
tougher because once you get huge thirty yards

48
00:03:36.840 --> 00:03:39.560
out, they're not going to hit. Oh yeah, so sixty sixty five

49
00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.800
Okay, now now we're talking.
Then you really got a hook it to

50
00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.080
hit. Boso show would be great. I love Bozo Kevin, your thirty

51
00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:53.560
six work show, your thirty six
have got You probably haven't grown up in

52
00:03:53.639 --> 00:03:57.800
an era where the Pro Bowl was
actually kind of awesome first, like five

53
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:00.400
years of my football content, it's
it was. It was like, you

54
00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:04.400
know, the late the mid to
late nineties. You love seeing everyone's different

55
00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:09.759
helmets out there, and they actually
kind of played those games tough. Okay,

56
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:13.840
but then it got real because safety, Yeah, and you have to

57
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:16.879
kind of a player of tears.
Acl and missed the next year because he

58
00:04:16.920 --> 00:04:20.120
got hurt in the Pro Bowl.
It did. Remember Robert Edwards, Yeah,

59
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:24.639
that was on the beach though,
wasn't that a Super Bowl well beach

60
00:04:24.680 --> 00:04:27.480
football game? Like okay, I
don't know that was part. It wasn't

61
00:04:27.480 --> 00:04:28.839
in Yeah, it was on the
beach. I don't know if it was

62
00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:30.680
part. Robert Edward was a running
back for the Patriots, who I think

63
00:04:30.680 --> 00:04:35.439
he had one rookies rookie year and
he was awesome. And was he blew

64
00:04:35.639 --> 00:04:41.120
his knee out playing on beach.
No, like I thought it was flag

65
00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:45.079
football on the beach, Yeah,
and not affiliated. It wasn't an event

66
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:49.639
for maybe right it was. Super
Bowl was so back in the seventies eighties,

67
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:55.040
the the only incentive for the players
to go to the Pro Bowl or

68
00:04:55.079 --> 00:04:59.560
even show up was free trip to
Hawaii. Yeah right, yeah, like

69
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.319
they don't. They weren't making like
a big, big bonuses or a ton

70
00:05:02.360 --> 00:05:06.240
of money from making the Pro Bowl
back then, but they were so I

71
00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:10.600
guess they're collective bargaining agreement, you
know with the NFL. They were so

72
00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:15.959
underpaid for what they were doing,
but especially compared to now that that probably

73
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.079
was enticing to them. You know, yeah, sure, that's a free

74
00:05:18.079 --> 00:05:21.800
trip to Hawaii. Sure, let's
go scramble our brains one more time for

75
00:05:24.319 --> 00:05:27.959
to hang out in Maui for three
days. But it was a big deal

76
00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.680
when I was when I was a
little kid, it was a very big

77
00:05:30.720 --> 00:05:34.759
deal. You watched the Pro Bowl
with massive interest because you wanted to see

78
00:05:34.800 --> 00:05:39.680
your guys helmets out there. Yeah. The Cowboys were always, you know,

79
00:05:39.839 --> 00:05:42.839
pretty decent, even though they weren't
weren't winning Super Bowls in the eighties,

80
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:46.560
they still threw a lot of dudes
in that thing. You could get

81
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:54.560
your Nova check fix, you get
your Doug Cosby fixed before that. So

82
00:05:54.680 --> 00:06:01.399
Robert Edwards NFL rookie flag football game
in Hawaii during pro Edwards barely escaped the

83
00:06:01.399 --> 00:06:05.519
injury without having his leg amputated.
Good grease. I was told he might

84
00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:10.279
not walk again. Crazy, I
am, oh, here, here's your

85
00:06:10.360 --> 00:06:15.480
super Bowl nug hit me right,
I was like, whoa really? So

86
00:06:15.560 --> 00:06:18.120
we have the Kansas City Chiefs in
the Super Bowl. They will be traveling

87
00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:23.040
west to play in Las Vegas.
We have the San Francisco forty nine ers

88
00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:27.199
who will be traveling east to play
in the super Bowl. In the last

89
00:06:27.360 --> 00:06:31.160
thirty years, every time that the
Super Bowl has been played in a location

90
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:35.680
that is in between the two teams, one team traveling east, one team

91
00:06:35.680 --> 00:06:41.600
traveling west. The team traveling west
has won, okay, because they get

92
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:44.399
two extra hours. Well, I
don't know if there's anything to it,

93
00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:47.560
but for in thirty years, anytime
the location has been in the middle of

94
00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:54.000
the two teams, so the team
traveling west wins every time. Vegas is

95
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:58.240
mountain time, right, I think
so the forty nine Ers would be losing

96
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:04.959
one hour and the Chiefs would be
gaining one hour. Okay, how many

97
00:07:04.959 --> 00:07:09.120
times thirty? No, no,
in the last thirty years, but it's

98
00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:14.879
happened. They're seven to zero.
There's a couple of real close calls,

99
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:18.040
like Saint Louis when the Rams won
in New Orleans. New Orleans is like

100
00:07:18.279 --> 00:07:24.600
one mile east of the still counts, Yeah, still count Do they have

101
00:07:24.639 --> 00:07:29.959
any explanation, No, No,
it's just it's fun. These two weeks,

102
00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:32.680
people are looking for anything, and
one dude just found that one.

103
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:34.959
Well, I mean last week at
the Guy, I had a Andy Reid

104
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:40.839
stat or before the Chiefs and Bills
game. Is Andy Reid on eight plus

105
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:45.920
days rest was like undefeated really and
then like the Bills, you know,

106
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:48.680
because their game got postponed because the
snow. They were going to play a

107
00:07:48.759 --> 00:07:51.439
day after, so they had like
six days rest and maybe that didn't make

108
00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:55.920
a difference two days in between games, so you're ready. But giving Andy

109
00:07:55.920 --> 00:08:01.040
Reid's teams two plus days to prepare
and the just winning percentages through the roof,

110
00:08:01.079 --> 00:08:07.439
he needs the extra sleep from overeating
all of Pat and Jake's fast food.

111
00:08:07.680 --> 00:08:13.120
He is having too, which a
steak Firm, Jake's Nuggies finger walks

112
00:08:13.120 --> 00:08:18.120
it. No, that's good,
I do. I get that. There's

113
00:08:18.120 --> 00:08:20.480
a bunch of guys out there don't
want to hear this, and JJ don't

114
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.399
want to hear this. There's there's
a big Tailor Swift element to this game

115
00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:28.720
in betting. Were we need to
handle that next week because it's I already

116
00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:35.000
have. Let's make money on twenty
five Taylor Swift prop bets that I read

117
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:37.919
and I'm not kidding. I might
open an account and I want to see

118
00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:43.559
she to put in like enough money
where it might hurt, maybe a couple

119
00:08:43.639 --> 00:08:48.559
hundred bucks each, and it might
feel real good though, And we're going

120
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:54.559
to put a lot of money on
Taylor Swift bets to where all you two

121
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:58.919
care about is how many times she's
up. What she's wearing, Is she

122
00:08:58.960 --> 00:09:01.240
holding a drink? Is the big
bet? Will she make it in time?

123
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:05.679
Uh No, No, there's a
big bet on what she'll be wearing

124
00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:09.720
when she steps off the plane from
Japan. She's gonna get there the night

125
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:11.320
before. Yeah, that's why she'll
have plenty of time. Okay, because

126
00:09:11.320 --> 00:09:15.360
of the massive time shift and all
that. Yeah, but I kind of

127
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.559
like that idea. No, let's
do it. Dinga's Morning News in twenty

128
00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:20.840
minutes. Hope. By the way, guys, I'm Kevin, Yeah,

129
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:28.440
Danny, Mike introduce me. I
didn't know how to say, just doing

130
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:30.639
that, you know, okay,
just you know, so just say the

131
00:09:30.679 --> 00:09:35.120
name thing, you know. The
cow is defensive coordinator. Situation is interesting.

132
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:41.919
Officially it's in flux because dan Quinn
took the commander's job yesterday. Leading

133
00:09:41.960 --> 00:09:48.039
candidate right off the top. Probably
not a household name. His name is

134
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:52.759
Joe Witt Junior. He was dan
Quinn's passing game coordinator, kind of right

135
00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:56.759
hand man, was with him and
Atlanta. He uh. Joe Witt Junior

136
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:01.320
was defensive backs coaching Green Bay for
all the McCarthy years, tons of connections.

137
00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:05.240
Doesn't it make sense that since Jerry
decided to stick with with coach Mike

138
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:11.320
and not you know, create a
big upheaval and turnover and coaching staff,

139
00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.720
that they'll probably just promote someone in
house. Okay, well, this is

140
00:10:13.879 --> 00:10:18.080
this is where this is interesting.
This is going a lot different. Yes,

141
00:10:18.159 --> 00:10:22.559
that's the chalk play. You just
hired Joe Witt. Okay, but

142
00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:28.759
Joe Witt could take a promotion to
be the defensive coordinator of the Commanders,

143
00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:31.120
to the point of Joe Whitt is
going to interview with the Cowboys, and

144
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:37.720
he is going to interview with the
Commanders because he's not a defensive coordinator right

145
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:41.440
now, so he should. Now, before we get too deep into this,

146
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:46.799
I want to say a couple things. Mike McCarthy should get saying this.

147
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:50.679
He has ruined that when he brought
in Mike Nolan in twenty twenty.

148
00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:54.919
Okay, and you're one of his
coaching tenure and the team imploded. Now

149
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:58.840
Dak got hurt. But the amount
of and there was multiple Jane Slater reports

150
00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.240
on this, the amount of inner
turmoil on the defensive side of the ball.

151
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.600
Some of it related to Jalen Smith
had something to do with Mike Nolan.

152
00:11:05.639 --> 00:11:11.120
Too bad. Hire should have never
happened that. Mike has no say.

153
00:11:11.200 --> 00:11:16.240
He's also lame duck head coach now
not gonna get a contract extension in

154
00:11:16.279 --> 00:11:20.360
his fifth year. So macarthy's O
there going, man, I hope they

155
00:11:20.399 --> 00:11:24.679
don't hire someone who could take my
job, probably because I would like to

156
00:11:24.679 --> 00:11:26.559
get an extension. We're gonna win
a bunch of games next year. But

157
00:11:26.679 --> 00:11:31.039
he's not gonna get a lot to
say in this. Jeff said something yesterday

158
00:11:31.039 --> 00:11:33.759
on the speakeasy and I was gonna
pull up but it was kind of longer.

159
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.480
But I'm gonna give you all cliffs
notes on it, and I kind

160
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.399
of agree with him. The number
one Jeff does not want retreads, and

161
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:43.600
he said, the number one thing
that we need is someone who if we

162
00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:48.320
game plan all week for something and
then we learn in the first quarter that

163
00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.320
we were out game planned and we
got smacked in the face like we did

164
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.960
in the playoff game, I need
someone who's got answers in forty seconds,

165
00:11:56.279 --> 00:11:58.600
like we need to adjust on the
fly, not wait, keep doing what

166
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:03.960
we're doing. And I agree.
And the person that I think is that

167
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:07.720
person, the world is gonna scream
and shout and say you're an idiot.

168
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:11.159
They do that. The person who
is that person is the guy who did

169
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:13.360
cool stuff defensively, but his team
had already quit on him, so it

170
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:18.000
doesn't matter. It's Brandon Staley.
Brandon Staley as just a defensive coach is

171
00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.320
great. Now he ask him to
be a head coach and make decisions.

172
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:28.720
E no, no, no,
terrible, don't do that. But defense

173
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:33.919
just coach the defense do cool stuff
with them? Yes, and we give

174
00:12:33.000 --> 00:12:37.399
up seventy points to the Raiders that
one game the team quit. We'll provide

175
00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:39.320
a little context for people that might
not know who that is. Ri says

176
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.240
the coach of the Chargers, who
got fired, and he and what's the

177
00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:45.759
rub on him? Well, the
rub on him is he became a bit

178
00:12:45.799 --> 00:12:48.799
of a joke because he was very
aggressive, analytical guy, went for it

179
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.639
on fourth down a lot this year. He got fired when they went five

180
00:12:52.679 --> 00:12:56.200
and twelve. Justin Herbert got hurt. They quit trying on defense. I

181
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:01.639
mean it was bad. He got
ugly, but he is a defensive coordinator.

182
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.759
Only seem like Cliff Kingsbury is your
offensive coordinator. Is probably not bad

183
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.159
as your head coach. We probably
don't want that. Yeah, it's that

184
00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:13.720
type of thing. Here's what we
know though. A couple of things,

185
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:18.240
so touch you about Joe Witt.
Trayvon Dick's sweets out Al Harris for defensive

186
00:13:18.240 --> 00:13:24.320
coordinator. Did he really he did? Which is that something against Joe Witt?

187
00:13:24.759 --> 00:13:28.840
Is it maybe Trayvon's saying, well, that's his guy too, Well,

188
00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:33.039
Joe Witz, their guy Too's the
passing game coordinator? He's the secondary

189
00:13:33.080 --> 00:13:39.320
coach. But Joe Witt has been
on uh Quinn's hip for a for a

190
00:13:39.360 --> 00:13:43.879
long time, as has Aiden Derdey. Right, yeah, and he's a

191
00:13:43.080 --> 00:13:46.360
he's a Canada, Canada. He's
interviewed with some other teams too, but

192
00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:48.960
only think it's more likely that those
two guys, if not being given the

193
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:56.399
DC job, would go with him. Maybe also would go with Quinn to

194
00:13:56.519 --> 00:13:58.960
Washington. And then you're kind of
gutted. Well, and also what happens

195
00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:03.039
when your head coach gets fired.
Most of the time, coaching staffs get

196
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.960
bombarded when you know your head coach
is one year left. Okay, well,

197
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:11.639
let's not look at it from the
what McCarthy wants perspective, because unless

198
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:13.200
they get to the NFC title game
or whatever the hell the deal is,

199
00:14:13.240 --> 00:14:16.480
he's gone anyway. Right, I'm
talking about a job security perspective, because

200
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:20.720
you could easily go Washington's a worse
job than Dallas. You can easily say

201
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:24.960
that, but Washington well offers more
job security than Dallas. You go to

202
00:14:24.960 --> 00:14:28.600
coach for Dan Quinch. So what
you're saying is he's a lame duck coach.

203
00:14:30.279 --> 00:14:33.720
The chances are are are good that
he's going to be gone after this

204
00:14:33.799 --> 00:14:35.639
year anyway. So anybody you do
bring in is going to clean house.

205
00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:39.120
No one on your staff has any
job security now. But if those two

206
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.480
guys went an AID and go to
Washington, then they got a few years.

207
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:46.559
Yeah, yeah, two or three? Maybe you know, why don't

208
00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:50.919
we just get vable? That's what
I keep wondering there. Here's what we

209
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:54.440
know. Ron Rivera is meeting with
the Cowboys next week. I don't hate

210
00:14:54.440 --> 00:15:00.000
that. That does not feel fun, and I don't know why I didn't.

211
00:15:00.240 --> 00:15:01.919
No, it doesn't feel fun.
But no, you're right, you

212
00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:05.440
shouldn't have hated it. But everyone
shoulder slumps when you hear that, I

213
00:15:05.480 --> 00:15:09.840
think, because it's just the same
way that I bet Washington Radio is shoulder

214
00:15:09.879 --> 00:15:13.799
slump that Dan Quinn is their new
head coach because it's not all that fun.

215
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.679
And the dude famously got annihilated at
the end of a Super Bowl and

216
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:20.759
you've been with the Cowboys. That's
kind of a ugh. I guarantee no

217
00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.600
one's really like. And the taste
that you leave in everybody's mouths is your

218
00:15:24.600 --> 00:15:28.919
defensive performance on the last game that
you coached here, and it got out

219
00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:31.200
that the guy they wanted told him, no, I'm going to stay and

220
00:15:31.240 --> 00:15:37.360
be an offensive coordinator. Ben Johnson
the lines, So yeah, it feels

221
00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:43.559
like a fallback option. So you
would have also there off there too.

222
00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:46.240
They're probably going, I don't want
another defensive coordinator to be my bad coach.

223
00:15:46.279 --> 00:15:48.960
I want the offensive You know,
Well, Johnson's probably in the same

224
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:52.360
mindset that Dan Quinn was last year
with the Cowboys. Hey, look what

225
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:56.639
we did. Let's roll it out
again and see what happens. You get

226
00:15:56.799 --> 00:16:00.639
smashed in the mouth in the first
round and kicked out of the playoffs by

227
00:16:00.639 --> 00:16:03.200
Green Bay. It's like, I
don't really want to go back and do

228
00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:07.399
this again. I need a fresh
start, you said Mike Vrabel. Mike

229
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:12.679
Rabel friends with Steven Jones. They're
on the competition committee together, so at

230
00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:17.120
least they know like what he's like
to work with on a day to day

231
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:23.159
basis for that time. Makes that
seems logical if you are projecting that the

232
00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:29.480
hire would be, uh have a
good chance to be the next head coach.

233
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:33.039
You know, I'm of this team, I'm interested in Rabel. Mikey,

234
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:34.200
is that kind of where you're thinking, Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

235
00:16:34.200 --> 00:16:37.240
I don't care what McCarthy thinks.
And if he wants someone that's non

236
00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:41.759
threat, I don't care. And
they don't either go to the super Bowl.

237
00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:44.879
You're fine, Jerry doesn't care.
Yeah, they don't care about that

238
00:16:44.919 --> 00:16:48.720
for sure. And that's why Rabel's
interesting for no reason. Also, I

239
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:52.879
kind of think they need a little
hard ass, you know, they need

240
00:16:52.919 --> 00:16:56.440
someone who's like, no, no
more dumb penalties. We're not doing it

241
00:16:57.279 --> 00:17:03.799
like Gonna. Carthy's not that guy. You know. Mike Zimmer is sixty

242
00:17:03.840 --> 00:17:07.319
seven and he is a candidate.
I don't even know why, but I'm

243
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.640
just saying no, you know,
yeah, like I don't. I don't

244
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:15.200
just know. Sure, I'm with
you on that. I don't. I

245
00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:18.799
don't want Rivera. Zimmer doesn't do
much for me. Now. Al Harris

246
00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:22.119
is interesting. You already have you
know, one of your best defensive players

247
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:26.799
tweeting out make him the DC very
interesting. The only thing that they would

248
00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:29.839
say is, if you're going to
hire Al Harris as your DC, why

249
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:34.440
wouldn't you make Joe Witt your DC
who has experienced calling plays right, so

250
00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:38.160
more and more experienced than and a
little more experience. And then you're still

251
00:17:38.160 --> 00:17:42.440
promoting Al Harris, you know,
and maybe dan Quinn goes, I'll go

252
00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:47.799
make Al Harris my DC. And
if that, if you think that's gonna

253
00:17:47.799 --> 00:17:51.759
happen, then you you know,
you got to take your pick. Who

254
00:17:51.759 --> 00:17:56.400
do you like more, Joe Whitter
or Al Harris. But you know,

255
00:17:56.799 --> 00:18:00.640
Joe and Joe Witt coached Dal Harris, you know in Green Bay, you

256
00:18:00.680 --> 00:18:03.200
know, back in the day.
Joe it's forty five. He's not like

257
00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:07.599
he's been around a long time.
But he's not like he's some retread like

258
00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:11.799
this would and it would kind of
have continuity with your defense. I think

259
00:18:11.799 --> 00:18:15.680
the guys will like him. He's
very calm. He did an interview back

260
00:18:15.680 --> 00:18:19.640
in October. It was kind of
interesting talking about how dan Quinn's more in

261
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:25.880
the moment and how he's like he
never celebrates anything so and kind of why

262
00:18:25.880 --> 00:18:30.599
they work together so well. Like
if drown Bland gets a pick six and

263
00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.519
then he's got to be on the
kickoff team, Joe Witz the one while

264
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:37.039
dan Quinn's yelling and high five,
and you know, Joe Whit's the one

265
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:41.720
who's like yelling down to fossil on
the sideline, Yo, get Bland off

266
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:47.000
the kickoff team on this kickoff he's
so he can get a breather because he's

267
00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:49.519
about to kickoff and then go cover
people. Yeah, so like he just

268
00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:53.960
had a pick six, Like that's
that's the that's the thinking ahead aspect,

269
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:57.000
that kind of looking for here,
and that would be my pick. Like

270
00:18:57.240 --> 00:19:02.200
right now, I would hire Joe
Witt today. That's me. But I

271
00:19:02.279 --> 00:19:04.599
don't know these people and don't interview
them, But that's what I would do

272
00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:10.000
if I could, though, if
I could, But you know, you

273
00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:12.240
do risk. You're probably gonna lose
some of these dudes. That's why dan

274
00:19:12.319 --> 00:19:17.160
Quinn leaving is bad. That's why
they're probably gonna lose these dudes to wash,

275
00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:19.240
probably both of them. Ye,
well two of the three. I

276
00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:23.200
would say it between dirty yeah,
yeah, a dirty and wit yeah and

277
00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:29.359
dirty they all love too. And
then if you do go out of Harris

278
00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:33.480
that's a fairly what inexperienced right yeah. Defensive coordinator Yeah, I mean Rabel

279
00:19:33.559 --> 00:19:37.240
was the NFL Coach of the Year
in twenty twenty one. Yeah, And

280
00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:42.720
it's your stars fall quickly in this
league, but they need a hard ass.

281
00:19:44.039 --> 00:19:48.039
I do believe that one hundred per
one hundred percent. Yeah, Dame

282
00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:52.160
McCarthy's mood. It's not he's not
and that if if they don't succeed,

283
00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:56.839
then he's just such an obvious replacement
head coach then, And I guess,

284
00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:00.720
pending how the defense does in the
upcoming season, that will determine how the

285
00:20:00.759 --> 00:20:03.519
fan base feels about it. Yeah, because right now, Vrabel doesn't sound

286
00:20:03.559 --> 00:20:07.640
like the sexiest hire, I guess, but if their defense is dominant and

287
00:20:07.759 --> 00:20:11.240
has some twists that we didn't even
see, and they you know, are

288
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:12.759
anywhere near as good as they were
for the last couple of years as turn

289
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:18.599
up with turnovers, it would make
sense slide rabelin. I kind of think

290
00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:22.079
it's gonna be Ron Rivera, really. I mean, I think the Vegas

291
00:20:22.119 --> 00:20:30.119
pick that chalk phase Joe Witt.
Rabel's probably the long shot. Al Harris

292
00:20:30.160 --> 00:20:34.279
is probably a long shot Ron Rivera, So I think they'll pick I don't

293
00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:37.599
love it. I did not love
that at all. That's what they do

294
00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:41.799
if they're bringing him in, Like, why would you waste all this time?

295
00:20:41.799 --> 00:20:44.000
You would just hire the guy who's
ready to go, and Joe Witt,

296
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:45.880
you would just do it, and
you would promote Al Harrison, try
